Virtus Bologna in free fall and beaten by Red Star, Luca Banchi has the explanation

Fourth consecutive defeat in the Euroleague for Virtus Segafredo Bologna, which at the Stark Arena in Belgrade è was beaten 94-79 in the game of the thirty-fourth day of the regular season by a team in big crisis like Red Star. For the hosts 25 points and 7 assists by Nemanja Nedovic, for the Felsineri 25 points by Tornike Shengelia. Here are the statements of the V Nere coach Lua Banchi after the match.

“Red Star è was more continuous. They were effective from the start, they created advantages with the creativity of their outside players and their athleticism. The game è was tight, then at 61 tied there’è was a partial 11-0 run by them that was very difficult for us to recover from. We struggled to control the tempo. We were prepared to play a different kind of game. But their talent made sure that they controlled the match”.

“We had to have a much more consistent defense to limit their creativity. Our opponents had a’very good night, exploiting the potential of Nedovic, Teodosic and the other guards. We have to think about how to recover our defensive identity, more aggressiveness, the one that allowed us to have played a certain type of tournament”.

“Teodosic played as he knows, the basketball that everyone loves and knows very well in Bologna. He activated the team’s entire offensive arsenal. Dobric is having a difficult year, from the World Cup onwards he had several injuries that slowed his growth process. In Kaunas better than today, we are waiting for him to have a level of form that can help us as he can, and give us aggressiveness. The offensive rebounds? If you shoot bad maybe there are more offensive rebounds, we should not read our game on the number of possessions“.
